Just tried updatepack v1.2.5 in XP Home and qfecheck reports kb942288-v3 as "This hotfix should be reinstalled".
Even installing the hotfix manually qfecheck reports the same error.
Trying with XP Pro now.

*Edit
Pro/MCE reports the same error.

thank you.....found the error just updating a new pack and will upload.

if you are using 1.2.5 just use this little exe fix on the installed system:

Noted when I tried to install Windows Live Photo Gallery. I initially thought it might have had something to do with the new Onepiece dotNet all-in-one addon... but I eventually stripped everything down to just the raw XP Pro SP-3 image and user_hidden's 1.2.6 pack using RVMI 1.6.1beta2.1. No other addons, just unattended.

Installation of Windows Live Photo Gallery (Live Mail installs, not sure about the others) stops with the following message:

"The Windows Inistaller Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Please try installing Windows Live programs again. An unknown error occurred. hr:0x80070641""

I googled the problem and tried every suggested solution I could find, which included unregistering and re-registering the Windows installer, reinstalling Windows installer, safe mode solutions, nothing could fix it--best I can tell, it has to be something from this update pack.

I also noted seven "warnings" in Event Viewer's applications log relating to WMI namespace and root/RSOP. Each of the seven errors has different but similar text... if it will help, I'll copy and post them.

Apologies, I'm not a programmer--just a longtime user. Happy to provide any other pertinent info. Hopeful for a quick fix so I can get my mom's PC back up and running cleanly again.[/i]

Yep, we have the same problem in an Italian addon for Windows Installer 4.5. Even the new hotfix 981669 will cause some issue with Photo Gallery (it's the only msi based program at the moment that have problem, in our test). Well, we revert back to the previous patch, hoping that maybe in the future there will be a totaly working hotfx.

And speaking about Windows Installer 4.5, there's some difference between english and italian txtsetup.sif, because line 726 and 728 are not defined in [txtsetup_dirs] of entries.ini, even if they are used for a couple of mui file?

I see that the home inf references KB969557, and the pro inf references KB922120 and KB961742. RyanVM's last pack included KB922120 but didn't have this Add/Remove Windows Components entry. What is the purpose of having a components entry for it, and what happens if the user "removes" it?

Now that you mention it , you missed the description for KB961742-v3 that I mentioned earlier. Also Descriptions/Installed By for
KB892130, KB898461, KB954155, KB968816, KB973540, KB979402, KB968816, KB973540 and there's an entry with the name
of 0. All except the first two KBs are for WMP.

then did another integration with a few update packs (IE8, MP11 silverlight, all dot net) and then added driver packs,
mass storage, chipset, lan and wirless. No errors on install booted up with IE8, MP11 silverlight all dot net, USB and wirless all happy then...

A couple of us had similar problems on previous page. Both of us reported that when we started over from scratch, it worked the second time. The only thing I did different was clear the RVMI cache, but I don't think the other guy cleared his, and his still worked on the second run.

Not sure what it is. But I'd start by just trying over again from scratch, and clear any caches.

but no Installed By entries for KB898461 thru KB979402 (see image).

I just noticed that the above KBs are duplicated. One has the description and the other has the Installed by. Not sure why
Windows Update List is making 2 entries out of one KB, but that seems to be what it is determining on my system along with
the 0 entry

Al.

actually have all of your descriptions, dual entries and have that "0" entry taken care of. took me quite some time between yesterday and today to iron it all out.

Guys, sorry error queried above was operator error.... thinking about cause I re read log file of the tool and I saw the issue...

I integrated the security updates to a new source, on one run and then integrated all the addons in a second session..... BUT I used the original source files BOTH times.... which clearly explains why I got everything I expected but without the security updates.

I was just comparing the mrt.exe that gets installed with the updatepack and the mrt.exe that gets created via WU and I see
a huge size difference in the two. 8704 vs. 32058312. If I run the smaller .exe, it throws up an error about vShell32.dll not found.

Are there some additional steps needed so mrt.exe will work?

Up to now I've always copied it from another system and forgot to ask about it here.

Yes, I see the url in the module and it is valid. vshell32.dll on the other hand doesn't seem to be a part of windows though.
The mrt from code65536 has a different url, but it works - no vshell32.dll call in it so it isn't the same file.
